There will be no reunion of Picketts
men at Gettysburg this year. The COM
mittee sent to locate monument on the
battle field returned and reported their
mission to be failure. They would
not be allowed to place their monument
OH the farthest point on the field reached
by Pickett's men in the famous charge.
Consequently they would not accept
monument site on another and as they
believed unimportant position. On this
account the whole reunion is declared
off, and the monument will probably be
erected over the grave of General Pick
EFT, in Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond.

A Dreadful Tragedy.

A double murder, for purposes of
robbery, was perpetrated at the little
village of Holidays Cove, Hancock
county, this State, at an early hour
Tuesday morning. The victims were
Mrs. V. B. Baker and her mother, Mrs.
Drusia McWha. The skulls of both
women were crushed in with heavy
stones, which were found, covered with
blood, lying on the floor beside the
bodies. Mrs. McWha is widow, liv-
ing with her doughter, Mrs. Baker. Mr..
Baker left home few days ago on a
business trip, and returned Tuesday
morning. Approaching the house, he
found everything unusually quiet, and
on entering found the furniture in dis
order, the contents of closets, drawers,
etc., being scattered over the floor.
Suspecting something to be wrong, Mr..
Baker ran at once to his wife's room,
and there found his wife and her
mother lying side by side upon the
floor, covered with blood and quite
dead. The blood upon the floor and the
clothing of the victims indicated that
the crime had been committed about
two or three hours before its discovery.
The women had evidently struggl ed
bravcly with their murderers. Their
clothing was torn in many places. The
murderers had searched the house thor
oughly for large sum of money, which
it was thought Mr.. Baker always kept
about the premises. Everything of
value was carried off. In an hour after
the discovery of the crime the whole
surrounding country was alarmed, and
squads Of men on horseback are out
among the hills OH both sides of the
Ohio. The murderers will BE- lynched
as soon as found.

Mr.. CAMDEN comes out of the SeIa.
torial fight with clean robes, with an
unsullied character, and with the re-
spect and admiration of all unprejudiced
men. This is more than can be said of
some of those who so bitterly opposed
him. OF all the charges of bribery and
undue use of money which his enemies
circulated, not one was proven or borne
out by the facts. Re fought his fight
fairly and squarely, with the Demo-
cratic majority at his back. Those who
defeated him and the will of that ma
jority have gained their victory, but it
will be dead sea fruit.

IL is coincidence not unworthy Of
note, that in May, 1857, Hon. c. j.

opposing candidates for Congress-the
former was elected; and this May, 1887
thirty years after-Judge c. j. Faulk-
ner and Hon. D. b. Lucas, sons, young
est sons of the aforenamed gentlemen,
are respectively electee and appointee
to the U. S. Senatorship and as such
confront each other as claimants-with

in favor of the former.-Free Press.

The election Of Judge Faulkner to be
United States Senator meets with the
complete approval of the people of this
community, qualified only with the re-
greet of losing so good judge from the
bench. He is well known here, and has
the respect and confidence and admira.
ton of ShepherdstOwn people to high
degree. We rejoice in his elevation to
the Senate, and know that he will rep.
resent the State with honor and fidelity.
West Virginia will be represented by
the two youngest Senators in Congress,
but we may aGd that they are also
among the ablest members of that body.
The Socialists assert that they propose
to cause great revolt in 1899, and that
blood will flow like water in the con-
tests that follow. There may be nothing
in these statements, but attention is once
more called to the fact that this country
is being over-run with the low and vic
ious outcasts OF Europe. Nothing is
more badly needed at the hands of Con-
gress than laws which will restrict em-
igration to those industrious and worthy
people who come here to assimilate with
Americans and to render homage to our
laws and institutions. Murderers and
thieves and socialists are flocking here
too fast for public safety.
